Instructions

Steps to Make Cake

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  • In another bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in vegetable oil and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Gently fold in the diced apples into the wet mixture, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  • Grease a baking sheet or pan and pour the batter evenly, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, chopped nuts, and extra cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture generously on top of your batter.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Optionally, drizzle with caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
